steel02, $sigInit, not seem to working

Post by sriram »

Hi silvia and others,
i am trying to put some initial stress in the rebar using $siginit option in steel02. I tried using a truss element to test the material model and i am getting follwing error.. I am posting the my code below.. please let me know if $siginit is not working in steel 02. or if there is anything wrong in my code. I have tried same script with out $siginit, it works.

thanks.
sriram.

My Script:
model basic -ndm 2 -ndf 3
set IDPTBAR 9;
#defining the material parameters for PTbbar
set Fy 245.;
set Es 28800.;
set bratio 0.01;
#definig the material properties
